A seller does not have to sell his company 100% and consequently what is called the sale of shares in a certain percentage can occur. This is where the figure of investors or capitalist partners comes in, who can acquire companies for their subsequent exploitation, not appearing as the sole owners of the business.

When selling a company, all the variables that can influence the business valuation are usually taken into account. For this reason, those who are interested in buying companies usually carry out processes such as Due diligence, which basically consists of carrying out an in-depth audit of the situation of the business they intend to buy.

In any business purchase and sale process, the first thing that is analyzed are the company's balance sheets (accounting) (assets and liabilities) to determine the solvency of the business.

Also maintaining correct business accounting is mandatory to be able to develop a sale, although it is not always necessary.

Depending on the type of sale that is carried out, buyers usually demand more or less things.

In the sale and purchase of SMEs and small businesses, the business valuation is usually influenced by the cash of the business and not so much by the company's balance sheet. Especially in companies in the service sector, it is something that occurs frequently. Service companies are characterized by being small companies, which helps in all this.

The purchase and sale of industrial companies, on the other hand, have a more professional approach as they are larger operations.

In the purchase percentages, the volume of shares that each partner has must be taken into account because depending on the percentage, one can be a majority partner or a minority partner. The majority partners are those who control the company and can have effective control of the business while the minority partners are those who have their part of the business but their decision in controlling the company is not definitive.

Like any other asset, the income obtained by the seller after the sale of his business will be taxed in the income tax return "Personal Income Tax (Spain)").

However, there are incentives to reduce this taxation promoted by the governments themselves, which in the case of business reinvestment do not apply taxes on said benefit or at least reduce them.

The taxes payable on the sale and purchase of companies are applied to the profit obtained, that is, to the difference between the purchase value and the sale value.

Well, apart from what the interested parties themselves are, that is, buyer and seller, we can also see other related companies such as intermediaries, as well as venture capital companies.

Venture capital companies known in English as venture capital are companies professionally dedicated to the purchase and sale of businesses that obtain their profitability from the sale and exploitation of businesses already created and in operation.

These companies are formed by investors who are called business angels, being one of the options chosen by entrepreneurs both for the growth of their businesses and for the creation of new business projects.

Regarding the work of intermediary companies, this is limited to intermediation between buyer and seller, obtaining a commission for the sale in exchange.

It is not possible to set a specific deadline for the sale of a company because not even experts can do it. It is up to the parties to reach a payment agreement and therefore this is not possible. There are companies that sell in less than a week, others take months and others may never sell.
